Dark Chocolate Cream Liqueur

Sometimes everyone loves a naughty indulgence. One taste of my dark chocolate cream liqueur and you will be hooked. The smooth chocolatey taste with a hint of whisky in the background, has been a favourite with my family for many years. The liqueur will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days and tastes great over ice or mixed with milk as an after dinner treat.
